Dresden starts three new self -help groups for those affected and relatives

Today there are exciting news from the world of self -help groups in Dresden. As part of the comprehensive offer of Contact and Information Center (KISS) , three new self-help groups were now launched, each covering important topics and offering space for exchange and support.

With a total of about 250 self -help groups under one roof, the KISS is a central point of contact for all those who are looking for support in different situations. The groups on the topics of addiction and mental health, children's rheumatism as well as the Klinefelter syndrome have been added.

addiction and mental health

The group "Search and Mental Health" invites all affected people to meet every two weeks in the Putjatinhaus at Meußlitzer Straße 83. The focus here is not only to secure abstinence, but also to deal with mental illnesses that are often associated with alcohol addiction. Topics such as relapse prevention and problem management are treated and the mutual exchange is a central element of the meetings. If you are interested, you can contact shg-putjatinhaus@web.de

Meeting point Children's Rheumatism

A particularly important area is the "meeting point for children's rheumatism", which takes care of the needs of over 13,000 children and adolescents in Germany who are suffering from rheumatism. Around 1,300 children fall ill annually. There are often signs of this that the children play less and become louder or are simply quieter. While the exact causes of autoimmune disease remain unclear, it is important to take advantage of technical support offers at an early stage. The group organizes regular meetings to exchange ideas and a WhatsApp group for networking. Interested people can contact Solveig Herschel at dresden@kinderrheuma.com or the informative website Kinderrheuma.com Visit.

Klinefelter syndrome

Another new offer affects Klinefelter syndrome. The association 47xxy Klinefelter-Syndrome e.V. would like to support those affected and their relatives. Children with this anomaly, which can lead to a testosterone deficiency, often require special measures such as occupational therapy. Here, meetings, weekend events and even digital conversations create a platform to exchange experiences. Interested parties can contact 47xxy-klinefelter-ost@47xxy-klinefelter.de or the website 47xxy-klinefelter.de Visit.

The KISS itself continues to offer extensive consulting services related to self -help. It supports in the establishment of new groups and helps to promote existing groups in their activities. If you want to learn more about the possibilities, you can contact 0351-4884999 or by email to kissden.de . The office hours are on Mondays and Fridays by appointment as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays at the stated times.

These initiatives show that something is really offered in Dresden when it comes to connecting people and supporting them on their way. The self -help groups not only offer technical information, but also a network of like -minded people who can strengthen each other.
